The premiere of OnePlus Nord CE6 and OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite will take place on May 7, 2026, at 12:00 IST in India — confirmed by OnePlus on the oneplus.in website. The higher model will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor with a dedicated Touch Reflex chip, an 8000 mAh battery with 80 W SUPERVOOC charging, and a 6.78″ 1.5K AMOLED 144 Hz display with a brightness of 1800 nits. All enclosed in a body with a quadruple certification of IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K and a standard of MIL-STD-810H.

CE6 Lite is a budget variant for those who want long battery life without spending a fortune. It gets a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apex (over 1,030,000 points in AnTuTu), a 7000 mAh battery, and also a 144 Hz screen. The price in India starts at around 23,000 rupees (~900 PLN), so in Poland, we can expect the starting variant to be around 1,299–1,499 PLN. We break down all confirmed information and leaks into their components.

When is the OnePlus Nord CE6 and CE6 Lite premiere

The global premiere of OnePlus Nord CE6 and OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite has been officially confirmed for May 7, 2026, at 12:00 PM Indian time (8:30 AM in Poland). The conference will take place in India and will be streamed on the OnePlus YouTube channel. Sales in the Indian market will start through Amazon.in, OnePlus.in, and a network of offline partners.

Availability in Poland is still a question mark. In recent years, OnePlus has consistently distributed the Nord CE series in Europe with a delay of 4–8 weeks compared to the Indian premiere. The predecessor, OnePlus Nord CE5, debuted in India in July 2025 and appeared in Polish stores at the beginning of September 2025 at a price of 1,999 PLN for the 8/256 GB variant. For CE6, we can expect a similar pattern — availability in Poland from late June to mid-July 2026.

Note: Official Polish prices for OnePlus will only be announced at the start of sales in the European market. Until then, all amounts mentioned in this article are estimates based on the exchange rate of rupees and euros as well as the price of the predecessor.

Before the phone arrives in Poland, product pages will appear on the official OnePlus website — for now, a dedicated launch page is already live. The manufacturer traditionally adds bonuses for early buyers — in the case of the Nord CE5 series, it was a year of additional warranty and a 200 PLN coupon for accessories. For the CE6, we can expect a similar starter set.

OnePlus Nord CE6 Specifications — what we officially know

Below is the complete list of OnePlus Nord CE6 parameters confirmed by OnePlus in pre-launch materials and by the portals Gadget Bridge, GSMArena, GSMManiak, and Notebookcheck.

The main new features compared to the Nord CE5 are larger battery (8000 vs 5200 mAh, +54%), brighter screen (1800 vs 1600 nits), faster refresh rate (144 vs 120 Hz), and quadruple IP69K certification, which no previous phone in the Nord CE series had.

OnePlus Nord CE6 — 8000 mAh battery and 80 W SUPERVOOC charging

The biggest practical change in the OnePlus Nord CE6 is the 8000 mAh battery. This is one of the largest values in the mid-range segment — for comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has 5000 mAh, the iPhone 17 Pro Max 4685 mAh, and even the more expensive Motorola Edge 70 Pro ends at 6500 mAh. OnePlus claims over 2.5 days of usage on a single charge with typical use.

In practice, this means:

• 18–22 hours of screen on time (SOT) while scrolling social media and watching videos
• 3–4 days without a charger with moderate use (1–2 hours of screen time daily)
• 12–15 hours of gaming on titles like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile, or PUBG Mobile
• Emergency power bank for a second phone thanks to 27 W reverse wired charging

Charging 80 W SUPERVOOC will charge the phone from 0 to 100% in about 55 minutes (with 5200 mAh in the predecessor it took 45 minutes — a larger battery extends the charging time). To achieve full speed, the original OnePlus charger or a compatible power adapter supporting the SUPERVOOC protocol is required. Alternatively, you can use a universal charger with USB Power Delivery — then the power will drop to 45–65 W, but you will still get a good charging time.

If you don’t have a universal charger yet, now is the time to invest in a GaN wall charger — the 100 W model will also charge a laptop and tablet while supporting fast charging for the phone. For trips, a good addition will also be a power bank with PD — 20,000 mAh will charge the Nord CE6 one and a half times.

Tip: An 8000 mAh battery in a casing expected to be around 8.5 mm thick is possible thanks to silicon-carbon cells with higher energy density. This is the same technology that powers the Honor Magic 7 Pro and Oppo Find X8 Pro. OnePlus claims 80% of initial capacity after 6 years and 2400 charging cycles — that’s twice the standard lithium-ion lifespan.

1.5K AMOLED Display 144 Hz and Touch Reflex 3200 Hz

OnePlus Nord CE6 receives a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1.5K, which is approximately 2800 × 1280 pixels. The refresh rate of 144 Hz places it among the fastest screens in the 1500–2000 PLN segment. The maximum brightness is 1800 nits peak — enough to maintain readability in full sunlight, although at a higher price, the Motorola Edge 70 Pro with 5200 nits remains the leader.

The most interesting novelty is the dedicated Touch Reflex chip, which boosts the touch sampling rate to 3200 Hz. This is three times more than the standard 1000 Hz in most phones of this class. In practice, this means almost imperceptible touch latency — a parameter that is crucial in games like Call of Duty Mobile or PUBG, where a 10 ms delay can determine a hit.

What does PWM 3840 Hz provide

OnePlus Nord CE6 is also one of the first phones priced below 2000 PLN with PWM dimming at 3840 Hz. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is a method of regulating brightness in AMOLED screens — the higher the frequency, the less flicker is visible to sensitive eyes.

• Standard AMOLED have a PWM of 240–480 Hz, which after 1–2 hours of viewing causes eye strain and headaches in some people
• 3840 Hz is the level at which even the most sensitive eyes do not detect flicker
• Comparatively: Xiaomi 15T Pro has 3840 Hz, iPhone 17 Pro has 480 Hz

For people spending 3–4 hours a day in front of their phone screen, this is a real difference in comfort. The quad curved screen is not confirmed in the Nord CE6 — the first renders show a flat panel with thin bezels, which will make it easier to choose tempered glass and hydrogel filmsj.

OnePlus Nord CE6 Camera — 50 MP with ultra-wide 8 MP and 32 MP selfie

The camera setup in the OnePlus Nord CE6 has not yet been fully confirmed by OnePlus, but leaks from GSMArena indicate three modules:

• Main 50 MP with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a bright f/1.8 lens
• Ultra-wide 8 MP with a field of view of 112–120° for landscapes and architecture
• Selfie 32 MP with 4K recording at 30 fps

Missing a telephoto lens, which is standard in this price range — competitors like Motorola Edge 60 or Samsung Galaxy A56 also rely on digital zoom from the main sensor. In practice, 50 MP allows for 2× zoom without quality loss (cropping the sensor), but for 3× and more, the quality noticeably decreases.

The new Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 brings current AI Image Processing, which OnePlus uses to enhance night photos, HDR scenes, and portraits. We can also expect AI Unblur (reconstruction of blurred images) and AI Reframe (automatic cropping) — features known from OnePlus 15 and 15R, now available at a price a thousand zlotys lower.

OnePlus Nord CE6 — quad IP and MIL-STD-810H

OnePlus Nord CE6 is one of the first phones priced under 2000 PLN with quad water resistance certification: IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K. No known competitor in this range offers the full set. What does this mean in practice?

• IP66 — complete protection against dust and strong water jets from a nozzle
• IP68 — immersion in fresh water up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes
• IP69 — protection against high-pressure water jets
• IP69K — resistance to hot water jets (80°C) at a pressure of 10 MPa

IP69K is a standard originating from the industrial environment — car washers and cleaning machines. For the average user, it means that the Nord CE6 will survive washing under a tap with hot water, sudden rain in the tropics, a bath in a jacuzzi, and calm swimming in a pool. This is a level of durability that even the iPhone 17 Pro Max does not have (only IP68).

Additionally, there is the MIL-STD-810H certification — an American military standard testing resistance to drops, vibrations, extreme temperatures (−40°C to +70°C), and altitude (up to 4500 m). In practice: the phone will survive a winter trip to the mountains, a beach day in August, and daily drops from the desk.

Despite this, a case remains an essential accessory. Certifications protect against water and dust, but not against glass cracks. Check OnePlus accessories at homescreen.pl, where you will find Spigen, UAG, and Tech-Protect cases that fit the entire Nord series.

OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite Specification — affordable and durable

OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite is the budget equivalent of its bigger brother, positioned as the cheapest phone in Poland with a 7000 mAh battery. Here’s what we already know:

Parameter	OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite
Display	6.7″ IPS LCD (leak)
Resolution	2400 × 1080 px (20:9, leak)
Refresh Rate	144 Hz

Price India	from Rs. 23,000 (~900 PLN)
Price PL (est.)	1,299–1,499 PLN
Launch	07.05.2026 (India)

The key choice of OnePlus is the IPS LCD screen instead of AMOLED. This is how they managed to fit a 7000 mAh battery at a low price. The downside is weaker contrast (lack of absolute black) and lower peak brightness (around 1000 nits), but the advantage is no PWM issues and longer panel lifespan (IPS does not burn in like AMOLED).

Dimensity 7400 Apex scores over 1,030,000 points in AnTuTu — a result comparable to Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 and about 15% higher than Dimensity 6300 from the predecessor. In practice: smooth system operation, mobile games like Call of Duty Mobile at medium settings 60 fps, browsing websites and YouTube without stuttering.

OnePlus Nord CE6 vs OnePlus Nord CE5 — what changes

Nord CE5 is currently available in Polish stores at a price of 1,499–1,699 PLN (after promotions), so the comparison shows whether it’s worth paying extra for the newer generation.

Parameter	OnePlus Nord CE6	OnePlus Nord CE5
Processor	Snapdragon 7s Gen 4	Dimensity 8350
Screen	6.78″ AMOLED 144 Hz	6.77″ AMOLED 120 Hz
Peak brightness	1800 nits	1600 nits
Battery	8000 mAh	5200 mAh
Charging	80 W SUPERVOOC	80 W SUPERVOOC
Main camera	50 MP (leak)	50 MP Sony LYT-600
Ultrawide	8 MP (leak)	8 MP
Selfie	32 MP (leak)	16 MP
Durability	IP66+IP68+IP69+IP69K+MIL-STD-810H	IP65
Touch sampling	3200 Hz (Touch Reflex)	2160 Hz
System	OxygenOS 16 / Android 16 (leak)	OxygenOS 15 / Android 15
Launch price PL	~1,899–2,099 PLN (est.)	1,999 PLN

The most noticeable changes are a 54% larger battery, twice the water resistance, and faster screen refresh rate. The camera and charging remain at the same level — OnePlus has shifted the budget towards durability and battery life.

Is it worth waiting for the CE6 instead of buying the CE5 on sale? If you care about long battery life and water resistance — definitely yes. If you use your phone for 6–8 hours a day and charge it every night — the CE5 for 1,499 PLN will remain a good choice for another year.

OnePlus Nord CE6 vs competition in the 1,800–2,200 PLN segment

The shelf of 1800–2200 PLN in 2026 is the most competitive in history. The OnePlus Nord CE6 enters a territory where four strong models are already battling.

Model	Processor	Battery	Screen	Camera	Price PL
OnePlus Nord CE6	Snapdragon 7s Gen 4	8000 mAh	6.78″ 144 Hz	50 MP	~2,000 PLN
Samsung Galaxy A57	Exynos 1580	5000 mAh	6.7″ 120 Hz 1900 nit	50 MP	2,199 PLN
Motorola Edge 60 Pro	Dimensity 8350	6000 mAh	6.7″ 120 Hz 4500 nit	50 MP Lytia	1,999 PLN
Xiaomi 15T	Dimensity 8400 Ultra	5500 mAh	6.8″ 144 Hz 3200 nit	50 MP Leica	2,199 PLN
Nothing Phone 3a Pro	Snapdragon 7s Gen 3	5000 mAh	6.77″ 120 Hz	50 MP periscope 3×	1,899 PLN

OnePlus Nord CE6 wins in two key parameters: battery (8000 mAh — unattainable for the rest) and water resistance (IP69K + MIL-STD-810H — unique in the segment). It loses in the camera to the Xiaomi 15T (Leica) and in screen brightness — here the Motorola Edge 60 Pro with 4500 nits remains the leader.

In OnePlus’s internal offering, the Nord CE6 is positioned between the OnePlus Nord CE5 and the flagship OnePlus Nord 5 — the latter has Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, 6800 mAh and costs around 2,499 PLN in Poland. Accessories for the entire OnePlus series can be found in one place.

Who is OnePlus Nord CE6 the best choice for

Frequent travelers — 8000 mAh guarantees that the phone will last all day on a plane, train, or at the beach without searching for an outlet. The quad IP69K certification means you don’t have to worry about rain, sand, or falling into water.

Mobile gamers — Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 + Touch Reflex 3200 Hz + 144 Hz display is the best set for mobile gaming at this price. The 33,000 mm² vapor chamber prevents throttling even during hour-long sessions of Genshin Impact or Call of Duty Mobile.

Those who value long support — OnePlus declares 4 years of Android updates and 6 years of security patches for the 15 series, and we expect similar support for the Nord CE6. Additionally, the battery retains 80% capacity after 6 years — the phone will realistically last 5–6 years of use without battery replacement.

Those sensitive to screen flicker — PWM 3840 Hz is a rarity at this price. If you spend 3+ hours a day in front of your phone and experience eye strain — CE6 will be a real relief.

OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite — who is this budget variant for

Nord CE6 Lite is a model for those who want reliability and long battery life without paying 2000 PLN. Here are the scenarios where it excels:

• First smartphone for a teenager — durable casing, 2-day battery, good 50 MP camera, and Android 16 with updates for 3–4 years
• Second business phone — inexpensive, durable, with NFC for payments and dual SIM
• Phone for seniors — long battery means less charging, IPS screen is more readable in sunlight than a dark AMOLED, 3.5 mm jack makes it easier to connect headphones

Immediately pair the Nord CE6 Lite with case and tempered glass. The plastic casing is lightweight but scratches more easily than the aluminum in the CE6. On homescreen.pl, you can already find accessories compatible with its predecessors.

OnePlus Nord CE6 — what’s missing before the premiere on May 7

Three key elements remain unconfirmed and may affect the final assessment of both models:

• Exact price in Poland — OnePlus will announce it only with the Polish distribution (expected in July 2026). Estimates of 1,899–2,099 PLN for the CE6 and 1,299–1,499 PLN for the Lite are based on the price of the predecessor plus inflation
• CE6 camera details — the exact 50 MP main sensor (Sony or Samsung), presence of a telephoto lens, and support for 4K 60 fps recording have not been officially confirmed
• Software support — OnePlus traditionally offers 3 years of Android and 4 years of patches for the Nord CE series, but for the CE6, we expect an upgrade to 4+6 years like in the OnePlus 15

It is also important to ask about the availability of the 12 GB RAM variant. Initial leaks suggest that the Nord CE6 in India will only get one configuration of 8/256 GB, but the European distribution may receive an additional 12/512 GB variant — similar to what happened with the Nord CE5.

Our choice: If you are looking for a phone with the longest battery in its price range and a guarantee that it will withstand everything — the OnePlus Nord CE6 will be the best purchase of summer 2026. But make sure to immediately add a case and tempered glass — even IP69K won’t protect it from falling on the pavement.

Summary — is it worth waiting for the OnePlus Nord CE6

The OnePlus Nord CE6 and Nord CE6 Lite will debut on May 7, 2026, in India, and are expected to arrive in Poland probably in July 2026. Estimated prices: 1,899–2,099 PLN for the Nord CE6 and 1,299–1,499 PLN for the Nord CE6 Lite. The upgrades compared to the Nord CE5 are significant: +54% battery, +24 Hz refresh rate, IP69K, and new Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor with Touch Reflex chip.

The biggest advantage of the CE6 remains the combination of a record battery and durability. 8000 mAh with IP69K and MIL-STD-810H at a price below 2100 PLN is something that no competitor offers. For active individuals, travelers, and those who value long battery life — an obvious choice. For photographers — the Xiaomi 15T with Leica or Motorola Edge 60 Pro with Lytia will provide slightly better photos.

Vivo X300 Ultra vs OPPO Find X9 Ultra — ZEISS vs Hasselblad

The camera of the Vivo X300 Ultra and the camera of the OPPO Find X9 Ultra are the two most ambitious photographic systems in smartphones of 2026. Both have a dual 200 MP setup, but differ in philosophy and zoom range.

Main camera — the same sensor, different approach

Both phones use the same Sony LYT-901 sensor (1/1.12″) — one of the largest in smartphones. The key difference lies in the optics:

Vivo X300 Ultra has a brighter telephoto lens with gimbal OIS stabilization and ZEISS T* certification (anti-reflective coatings). The f/1.85 aperture is a solid result.

OPPO Find X9 Ultra according to leaks goes further with an aperture of f/1.5 — it’s one of the brightest optics in smartphone history (some sources report f/1.8, official data will be revealed on April 21). A brighter lens means more light on the sensor, which translates to better photos in low light. Hasselblad calibration gives photos a characteristic, warm tone.

OPPO’s advantage in the brightness of the main lens (f/1.5 vs f/1.85). Vivo responds with gimbal stabilization, which can provide sharper images at longer exposure times.

Zoom – this is where the biggest difference lies

This is the key point of this comparison.

Vivo X300 Ultra has one 200 MP telephoto lens with 3.7× optical zoom (85 mm) and an optional ZEISS 400 mm G2 Ultra teleconverter, which provides 17.4× optical zoom. In the range of 3.7-17×, it is the best zoom system in a smartphone — but the teleconverter is purchased separately.

OPPO Find X9 Ultra has two telephoto lenses: 200 MP 3× periscope (70 mm) and 50 MP 10× periscope (230 mm) — both built into the phone. You don’t need any accessories to achieve 10× optical zoom. Lossless zoom reaches up to 40-50× thanks to computations.

In the range of 3-5× both phones will deliver excellent photos from the 200 MP sensors. Above 5× OPPO has a built-in 10× zoom, while Vivo needs a teleconverter. But with the teleconverter, Vivo achieves 17.4× at full 200 MP — a range unavailable to any other smartphone.

OPPO wins in versatility (triple zoom without accessories), Vivo wins in maximum range (400 mm with teleconverter).

Ultrawide

Here Vivo X300 Ultra has a significant advantage. The Sony LYTIA 818 (1/1.28″) sensor is much larger than the Sony LYT-600 (1/1.95″) in OPPO. Additionally, the ultrawide Vivo has its own OIS stabilization, which is lacking in OPPO.

A larger sensor and OIS clearly result in better ultrawide photos, especially in low light and when recording video.

Vivo X300 Ultra wins — the 1/1.28″ sensor with OIS is in a different league.

Night Photos

Both phones use the same main sensor, the Sony LYT-901, but OPPO has a brighter lens (f/1.5 vs f/1.85). In theory, this provides about 40% more light on the sensor, which should translate to better night photos from the main camera.

Vivo responds with gimbal stabilization OIS, which allows for longer exposure times without blur. In practice, both approaches yield great results at night.

Slight advantage for OPPO due to a potentially brighter lens — but the final aperture will be confirmed at the premiere, and the real difference in photo quality will only be visible after independent tests.

Video

Vivo X300 Ultra dominates in video:
– 4K/120 fps 10-bit Log on all lenses (main, tele, ultrawide)
– APV 422 encoding and ACES workflow
– 8K/30 fps, Dolby Vision HDR

OPPO Find X9 Ultra according to current information records 4K/120 fps with 10-bit color and Dolby Vision HDR. Log recording and 8K have not yet been confirmed by OPPO — the predecessor Find X9 Pro supported Log up to 4K/120 with ACES, so the Ultra model likely offers this as well. Full details will be revealed after the premiere on April 21.

Vivo wins video — 10-bit Log on every lens and APV 422 are professional tools. For stable video recording in motion, a tripod or gimbal for your phone will come in handy.

Camera Vivo X300 Ultra vs Xiaomi 17 Ultra — which one takes better photos?

This is where the real fun begins — the camera of the Vivo X300 Ultra and the camera of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra approach mobile photography from completely different angles.

Camera Philosophy

Vivo X300 Ultra is a “technologist” — it focuses on raw specification power. The dual 200 MP sensor (main Sony LYT-901, f/1.85 + telephoto Samsung HP0, f/2.3) provides a huge field for framing and digital zooming. OIS stabilization at gimbal level and ZEISS T* certification on the main lens are parameters rarely seen in smartphones. Additionally, the ultra-wide lens with a large Sony LYTIA 818 sensor (1/1.28″) — significantly larger than the competition.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra is an “artist” — a 1-inch main sensor with LOFIC technology (hardware HDR without frame merging) and a mechanical optical zoom of 75-100 mm are solutions known from professional cameras. Collaboration with Leica translates into characteristic color reproduction and emulation of Leica M9 films.

Daytime photo quality

In good lighting, Vivo X300 Ultra produces more neutral, true-to-life colors. Photos from the 200 MP sensor have an enormous amount of detail — when cropped to a lower resolution, the effect is incredibly sharp.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra with a 1-inch sensor captures more light and creates a more natural background blur (bokeh). Colors in Leica Vibrant mode are warmer and more saturated, while in Leica Authentic mode — truer, with the characteristic “leica look”.

Draw. Vivo wins in detail and resolution, Xiaomi — in atmosphere and color reproduction. The choice depends on the photography style.

Night mode photos

Here, Xiaomi 17 Ultra has a clear advantage. The 1-inch sensor with LOFIC technology processes exposure information at the hardware level, resulting in more balanced night photos without the typical artifacts from merging multiple frames.

Vivo X300 Ultra performs well thanks to CIPA 7.0 stabilization, which allows for longer exposure times without blurring. In practice, both phones deliver excellent results at night, but Xiaomi retains more detail in shadows and better controls noise.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra wins — the LOFIC sensor is a real advantage in low light.

Zoom and telephoto lens

This is the key difference between the two phones.

Vivo X300 Ultra offers a 200 MP telephoto lens with a focal length of 85 mm (3.7× optical zoom). Additionally, there is an optional ZEISS 400 mm G2 Ultra teleconverter, which provides up to 17.4× optical zoom at full 200 MP resolution. This is a record among smartphones.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra has a 200 MP telephoto lens with mechanical optical zoom of 75-100 mm (3.2-4.3×). This is the first such solution in a smartphone — a movable optical element provides true optical zoom without quality loss across the entire focal range.

At close-ups of 3-5×, Xiaomi delivers sharper images because it uses optical zoom without digital cropping. Above 5×, Vivo takes the lead — with the teleconverter, it achieves ranges unavailable to any other smartphone.

Vivo wins in range, Xiaomi — in photo quality in the popular 3-5× range. The ZEISS teleconverter is a powerful accessory, but you buy it separately.

If you plan to record professional video on your smartphone, a tripod or gimbal for your phone. will also be useful.

Ultrawide

Both phones have 50 MP ultrawide lenses with similar fields of view (~116°), but the Vivo X300 Ultra has a huge advantage with its 1/1.28″ Sony LYTIA 818 sensor — that’s more than twice the size of the Samsung JN5 (1/2.75″) in the Xiaomi. Additionally, the ultrawide Vivo has its own OIS stabilization.

In practice, the Vivo X300 Ultra should provide significantly better ultrawide photos, especially in low light, thanks to the larger sensor and stabilization.

The Vivo X300 Ultra wins — the 1/1.28″ sensor with OIS is in a completely different league than the 1/2.75″ without stabilization.

Video

Both phones record in 8K/30 fps, 4K/120 fps Log with support for ACES and Dolby Vision — this is currently the absolute top of smartphone video. The differences lie in the details:

Vivo X300 Ultra:
– 4K/120 fps 10-bit Vivo Log on all lenses (main, tele, ultra-wide)
– Encoding APV 422 (more efficient format than H.265)
– Dolby Vision HDR, 8K/30 fps

Xiaomi 17 Ultra:
– 4K/120 fps Log with ACES support (Academy Color Encoding System)
– Super slow-motion 1080p up to 1920 fps
– Leica film modes (warm color rendition)
– ShootSteady recording up to 2.8K/60 fps (advanced stabilization)
– Dolby Vision HDR, 8K/30 fps

Both of these machines offer professional video tools — Log, ACES, and 4K/120. The key advantage of Vivo is 10-bit Log on every lens (not just the main one) and APV 422 encoding. Xiaomi, on the other hand, offers super slow-motion 1080p/1920 fps and ShootSteady stabilization — ideal for dynamic shots in motion.

Tie in video — both phones are professional filmmaking tools. Vivo has better encoding (APV 422) and Log on all lenses, Xiaomi has better slow-motion and stabilization. For stable video recording in motion, a selfie stick with tripod function will also work well.

Screen — does 2K resolution make a difference?

Parameter	Vivo X300 Ultra	Xiaomi 17 Ultra
Diagonal	6.82″ LTPO AMOLED	6.9″ OLED Xiaomi HyperRGB
Resolution	1440 × 3168 (2K)	2608 × 1200, 12-bit
Refresh Rate	144 Hz	120 Hz LTPO
Peak Brightness	4500 nits (claimed)	3500 nits
Calibration	ZEISS Master Color	DCI-P3, TUV Rheinland
Protection	Armor Glass	Xiaomi Shield Glass 3.0

Vivo leads in all screen parameters — 2K vs FHD+, 144 Hz vs 120 Hz, and 4500 nits peak brightness (claimed) vs 3500 nits from Xiaomi. ZEISS Master Color calibration is an additional bonus for photographers who want to evaluate photos directly on the phone’s screen.

Xiaomi counters with adaptive LTPO refresh rate, which saves battery by lowering the frequency to 1 Hz when sufficient. The Xiaomi screen offers 12-bit color depth and TÜV Rheinland certifications (Low Blue Light, Flicker Free).

Vivo wins with the screen — higher resolution, faster refresh rate, and brighter panel. Xiaomi counters with better color depth (12-bit) and eye protection certifications.

Battery and Charging — Vivo X300 Ultra vs Xiaomi 17 Ultra

Parameter	Vivo X300 Ultra	Xiaomi 17 Ultra
Capacity	6600/7000 mAh (silicon-carbon)	6000 mAh
Wired charging	100 W	90 W (~43 min)
Wireless charging	40 W + reverse charging	50 W
Reverse charging	yes (wireless)	yes (10 W wireless, 22.5 W wired)
Battery life	80% after 1200 cycles	no data

The Vivo X300 Ultra has a significantly larger battery — 6600 or even 7000 mAh (depending on the variant) with a silicon-carbon cell, compared to 6000 mAh in the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. Faster wired charging (100 W vs 90 W) is an additional advantage. In tests, EPREL showed that Vivo achieved about 57 hours of operation, placing it among the top smartphones. Both phones support reverse charging — you can charge headphones, a watch, or even a second phone with them.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has better wireless charging (50 W vs 40 W) and stronger wired reverse charging (22.5 W). In everyday use, both phones easily last a full day of intensive photography.

Vivo wins in battery capacity (even 1000 mAh more), Xiaomi in wireless and reverse charging.

Build, weight, and water resistance

You will take both phones in your hand and feel the difference — Xiaomi is about 13-19 g lighter. With similar dimensions (~163 × 77 × 8.2-8.3 mm), every gram matters during long photography sessions.

Vivo X300 Ultra has IP68 and IP69 certifications — it can withstand immersion in water and a stream of hot water under pressure. Xiaomi 17 Ultra has an IP68 certification (immersion up to 6 m for 30 minutes). Taking photos in the rain or near water is not a problem for either of them.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra weighs 218.4 g (Black/White) or 219 g (Starlit Green). Available in three colors: black, white, and green. Both phones have an infrared emitter (IR blaster) for controlling home appliances.

Vivo X300 Ultra weighs 232-237 g (the black is lighter, the green is heavier) and has Armor Glass on the back. The construction is massive but solid — the aluminum frame and flat edges provide a secure grip. Available in black, silver, and green.

Vivo wins with IP protection (IP68+IP69 vs just IP68), but Xiaomi wins with weight — it is noticeably lighter.

Price in Poland — how much does each flagship cost?

The launch price of Xiaomi 17 Ultra was 6499 PLN for the 16/512 GB version, but it can currently be purchased from 5295 PLN. The official prices for this model in Poland have not yet been announced, but leaks suggest that Vivo X300 Ultra may cost around 7999 PLN for the 16 GB / 1 TB version.

Both phones have dedicated photography grips (Xiaomi Photography Kit, SmallRig Kit for Vivo), but you buy them separately. The ZEISS 400 mm teleconverter is a unique accessory that has no equivalent among competitors. The quality-to-price ratio favors Xiaomi — but Vivo with the pre-sale set levels the playing field.

The 4K display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, a VC cooling system with an area of over 71,000 mm², and up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM — everything indicates a direct attack on the iPad Air and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE.

4K 144 Hz Display — The Sharpest in Class

The most important element of the Vivo Pad 6 Pro is the 13.2-inch IPS LCD panel with a 4K resolution (3840 x 2512 pixels) with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The 144 Hz refresh rate and 540 Hz touch sampling ensure smoothness both when scrolling pages and drawing with a stylus.

The peak brightness reaches 1200 nits, and the color accuracy with a Delta E value of ≈ 0.8 makes the tablet suitable for photo and video editing. The panel displays a billion colors in the P3 palette and supports Dolby Vision — movies look truly cinematic on it.

Proportions 3:2 are a thoughtful choice — compared to the typical 16:10, you gain more vertical space, which you’ll appreciate when working with documents, browsing websites, and drawing. It’s the same aspect ratio that Microsoft uses in the Surface Pro.

Good to know: Vivo chose IPS LCD instead of OLED — this means no risk of screen burn-in and a lower price, but also weaker contrasts in low light. In daytime use, the difference is minimal thanks to TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light emission.

Performance — Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

The performance is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — the most powerful Qualcomm processor manufactured using a 3 nm process. The Oryon V3 Phoenix cores reach clock speeds of up to 4.6 GHz, and the Adreno 840 GPU handles even the most demanding mobile games at the highest settings.

In the AnTuTu benchmark, the tablet scores over 2 million points — that’s flagship smartphone territory and more than any other Android tablet on the market. The UFS 4.1 and LPDDR5X memory ensure lightning-fast data write and read speeds.

The VC (Vapor Chamber) cooling system with an area of 71,446 mm² keeps the temperature under control even during long gaming sessions or video rendering. You have as many as four variants to choose from:

• 8/256 GB — for multimedia and everyday work
• 12/256 GB — optimal for most users
• 12/512 GB — for content creators with a large file library
• 16/512 GB — for professionals and power users

The tablet runs on Android 16 with the OriginOS 6 overlay, which introduces floating windows, desktop mode, and a split screen activated by a two-finger gesture.

13,000 mAh Battery — up to two days of work

The Vivo Pad 6 Pro is equipped with a 13,000 mAh battery — one of the largest in any tablet on the market. For comparison: the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE has 10,090 mAh, and the iPad Air has a battery capacity of ~36 Wh (~9500 mAh equivalent).

In practice, this means:

• Up to 13 hours of continuous video playback
• Up to 78 days in standby mode
• All day of intensive work with documents, browsing, and multimedia

Charging 66 W replenishes the battery in a reasonable time — it’s not a speed record, but with a capacity of 13,000 mAh, it’s a good result. To charge, you need a USB-C cable and a wall charger with a minimum power of 66 W.

8 speakers and Dolby Vision

The Vivo Pad 6 Pro has 8 speakers arranged panoramically around the body — that’s twice as many as in the iPad Air or Galaxy Tab S10 FE. The Super Audio 7.0 technology simulates surround sound, and the system automatically adjusts the stereo channels to the tablet’s orientation.

Combined with a 4K display and support for Dolby Vision, this tablet turns into a portable mini-cinema. With a thickness of just 6.2 mm and a weight of 663 g, it can still be held in hand, although for longer movie sessions, it’s worth getting a holder or stand.

Stylus and keyboard — a tablet for work

The Vivo Pad 6 Pro supports two key accessories (sold separately):

Vivo Pencil 3 — a stylus with 16,384 pressure levels, a linear motor simulating paper resistance, and a dual tip (soft and hard). It charges magnetically on the tablet’s case and lasts about 15 hours on a single charge. The button on the body allows you to switch drawing modes.

Smart Touch Keyboard 6 Pro — a keyboard with a full-surface touchpad, magnetically connected via a pogo-pin connector. Adjustable tilt angle up to 140 degrees and a dedicated AI assistant key. In desktop mode, OriginOS 6 turns the tablet into a quasi-laptop with application windows, a taskbar, and mouse support.

The Vivo tablet outperforms its Android competitors in screen resolution (the only 4K), battery capacity (13,000 mAh), and number of speakers (8). Samsung counters with the included S Pen and better app support in One UI. The iPad Air M3 offers an unmatched app ecosystem but costs more than twice as much.

Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro is the closest price competitor — offering solid specifications for ~2000 PLN, but with a smaller 11.2-inch screen and lower resolution.
